Denialism: How Irrational Thinking Hinders Scientific Progress, Harms the Planet, and Threa tens Our Lives

The book "Denialism" by Michael Specter is a thought-provoking and timely exploration of the growing mistrust of science in our society.

In this provocative work, Specter reveals how Americans have come to view science as a political constituency rather than an objective source of information.

He examines the ways in which this distrust has led to dangerous consequences, such as the refusal of leaders in African nations to import genetically modified grains, and the protests against childhood vaccines despite their proven effectiveness.

Specter also delves into the world of dietary supplements and "natural" cures, revealing that they often have little value and can even cause harm.

Throughout the book, Specter argues that this war against progress is not only misguided but also dangerous, and he offers a compelling call to action for readers to embrace new technologies while acknowledging their limitations and threats.

Whether you're a science enthusiast, a public health advocate, or simply someone who wants to understand the complex issues facing our world today, "Denialism" is an essential read that will leave you questioning your assumptions about the role of science in society.
